The final blast for the daylighting of the in-progress left side tunnel of Parsik Hills under the Airoli Katai Naka Road project was done Friday, said officials, adding, the controlled blasting method was used for this.
The tunnelling of the Left Hand Side (LHS) of the Parsik Hills is now complete and the tunnel has been opened on both sides.
A total of three phases make up the Airoli Katai Naka Project. The stretch between Thane Belapur Road and National Highway 4, which was originally 3.4 km, will soon come down to 1.69 km (under phase 1) after the tunnelling work is over, said officials. The new stretch has two tunnels, a road and an elevated road.
